Year 4
Home Learning
Friday
Week 3

The Year 4 teachers have been working hard sorting and organising your home learning booklets. We have decided to break them up day by day, just so it is easier for you to follow. Remember these booklets are optional and please feel free to use as much or as little as you like. The Year 4 teachers have together created a daily week day booklet that will include a spelling, grammar, handwriting, reading, times tables and Maths. tasks. Here is a bit more detail on each task:
A challenge to help with your mental or physical wellbeing.
Spellings – Practise these everyday and have a spelling test on a Friday. They cover the words that you should know how to spell by the end of Year 4.
English - You may be set a writing task. This can be written however you like. Think about the features you have learnt in Year 4 and how you can improve your writing.
Grammar – We will focus on an area of Year 4 grammar daily. You will also have a grammar hammer quiz on a Monday to complete.
Handwriting – We will focus on our cursive handwriting and each week will include a certain letter formation.
Reading – This is a task where you will read and answer questions about the piece of text.
Times tables – Each week, we will focus on two different times tables and their inverse (division). If you would like to, you could do a times table test at the end of the week.
Maths – Every week day, you will get a set of questions that covers a range of Year 4 Maths. We have also included on a Wednesday an assertive mentoring test.
Remember, if you have any questions or concerns, please email us at ARHYear4@aldermanrichardhallam.leicester.sch.uk.

Each week, your Year 4 teachers would like to set you a challenge. This may be related to your mental or physical health. The challenges could include being active, spending time with your family, learning a new skill or being creative. It is up to you to decide how you are going to complete this challenge! It would be wonderful if we could see how you have completed them. If you’d like to show us, you can email us at ARHYear4@aldermanrichardhallam.leicester.sch.uk

Your challenge is: Investigate the change in season.
We’d like you to take some time to look at the world around you. It is changing in many ways. -Can you see anything new?
-Are the flowers changing?
-Is the sky different to before?
-Can you see more animals around or new animals coming back?
You could do this by going for a walk with an adult (remember to keep your distance from others), exploring your garden or looking outside your window.
Use your creativity to show us what you have noticed! This could be by sketching, writing a poem or simply describing what you have seen!

Editing sentences
Can you spot the mistakes in these sentences? Can you rewrite them with the correct spellings?
“I luv swimming!” exclaimed one fish to another.
She siad she wos happy to be under water.
Thay swim everywhere.
Whales was swimming past the window.
In the girls bedroom, the sea creatures explored.
The waves fast and spiralled around the bedroom.
Ariel’s room had turned intwo a ocean traffic junction.
Seawater poored into the room through the vast open windoes.

This week your challenge will be to write a story about the picture below. You can be as creative as you like, you could also include some of the grammar features you have been practising in your story.
Task 5– Can you read, edit and improve your story? Does it make sense? Have you used some of the expanded noun phrases we have been working on? Now read your story to someone else, a family member or even a pet!

This week, we have practised our 8x and 9x, including their inverse (division). Now we are going to practise both together.
You can practise these times tables out loud or you can answer them on a piece of paper. Make sure you check them after to see how many you got right. Good luck!
